a small tool to capture things going on on an X-Windows display to either individual frames or an MPEG video. On Windows machines there are commercial tools like Lotus ScreenCam or Camtasia which do a very good job esp. for the purpose I was needing such a tool for: Software documentation, esp. installation procedures and such.

I've used Camtasia in past and well its more advanced than xvidcap but this tool Can be extremely helpful for puppy users, we could have a whole line of videos for new users, it would be nice if we could edit frames eg. adding text on the screen. videos that could be made

Well apparently when trying to use Muggins xvidcap-1.1.6-i486.pet on this Puppy 412 on a ACER AST180-UA381B 3800+ Athlon 64 2GIG DDR I get the following error. Any suggestion on how to proceed ,other than giving up

Nope not yet, its a shame would be very good to have, They could be linked to help menu, and main puppylinux.com page, the wiki etc. If I had more time I would make them but, I'm always too busy with building a release or packages, etc. If your not overly extended , feel try to give it a try Maybe once somebody gets the ball rolling others might join in

no work for me in puppy 431 because it didnt create a menu entry. i run from console and it says: compiler did not align stack variables. libavcodec has been miscompiled and may be very slow or crash. this is not a bug in libavcodec but in the compiler. do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers. if i try to play the cap it says /bin/bash: xine: command not found.
not that i need a screencap utility in puppy linux. i really just want to figure out how to stereomix because iman00b and i find nothing about stereomixing.

OK, I vaguely recall there was a problem with menu items not appearing in the menu, with p431, but have no idea whether it was ever resolved. Instead you can just drag the xvidcap .desktop file, in /usr/share/applications, onto the desktop, and it will run from there.

Regarding the missing xine problem, just run this command in a console:
